Indian Stock Markets Open Lower Amid Global Tensions
The Indian stock market started lower on Monday.
The Nifty 50 and Sensex both dropped a little.
This happened because of worries about the US and Iran fighting and oil prices going up.
Big companies like Reliance Industries and some banks reported their earnings, which also affected the market.
Other markets in Asia were also down, and the US market ended last week poorly.
Traders are watching these things closely.
Nifty 50 opened at 24,191.65, down 0.59%.
Sensex opened at 77,684.79, down 0.60%.
Global tensions between US and Iran and rising crude oil prices influenced the decline.
June quarter earnings of index heavyweights like Reliance Industries and four banks impacted market sentiment.
Asian equities traded lower, and Wall Street ended last week weakly.
